Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/8] BTF-defined BPF map definitions

This patch set implements initial version (as discussed at LSF/MM2019
conference) of a new way to specify BPF maps, relying on BTF type information,
which allows for easy extensibility, preserving forward and backward
compatibility. See details and examples in description for patch #6.

[0] contains an outline of follow up extensions to be added after this basic
set of features lands. They are useful by itself, but also allows to bring
libbpf to feature-parity with iproute2 BPF loader. That should open a path
forward for BPF loaders unification.

Patch #1 centralizes commonly used min/max macro in libbpf_internal.h.
Patch #2 extracts .BTF and .BTF.ext loading loging from elf_collect().
Patch #3 refactors map initialization logic into user-provided maps and global
data maps, in preparation to adding another way (BTF-defined maps).
Patch #4 adds support for map definitions in multiple ELF sections and
deprecates bpf_object__find_map_by_offset() API which doesn't appear to be
used anymore and makes assumption that all map definitions reside in single
ELF section.
Patch #5 splits BTF intialization from sanitization/loading into kernel to
preserve original BTF at the time of map initialization.
Patch #6 adds support for BTF-defined maps.
Patch #7 adds new test for BTF-defined map definition.
Patch #8 converts test BPF map definitions to use BTF way.

  libbpf: refactor map initialization
  libbpf: identify maps by section index in addition to offset
  libbpf: split initialization and loading of BTF
  libbpf: allow specifying map definitions using BTF
  selftests/bpf: add test for BTF-defined maps
  selftests/bpf: switch tests to BTF-defined map definitions
